Rabb! Voorsanger kept an audience at the Academy of Sciences at concert pitch last night. The rabbi simply but elo- quently recounted the fascinating history of ancient Rome, and with its wealth and its luxury, its art and its power, hc made comparison with the city of London. It was a vivid parallel between the t | city of ancient and the great city of mod- ern time. He spoke of the London of ancient date and the London of the Vic- toria era and that of Albert Edward. He descanted upon the vice of Rome and in parallel’ lines he introduced the | vice of the English metropolis. He spoke | of the power of old Rome, when she held sway over the whole world and when more than half the world, indeed, dared not breathe unless Rome willed it. Re- turning to the parallel column he pict- uresquely placed out promincntly the power of London, with its magnificent, outreaching potency, the seat of fashion, | of science, of learning and commerce; of greatest wealth and direst poverty, of the | Breatest virtues and the greatest vices Thke British power is no such power as was Rome, for she was mistress of the world, owned the world and her city was recognized as the centralization of gov- ernment. | dred and twenty millions of people and out of that number six millions actually owned all the rest, who were practicaily slaves—slaves made up of the men of England, Germany, Africa, of the woria over. Of the thousand races Rome gathered in the best, but the slaves were not the slaves we to-day know of. They were men of learning, men of science, | men of philosophy, and when freed they | were assisted with land and means g live while tilling the 8ofl. They were not the slaves such as we know who earn enough to eat and enough to pay for their | burial. America Like Rome, | Rabbl Voorsanger then took the - political _situation of thlsacég;tfi}s when he reminded his hearers that (1 Roman imperial power was clectod. bt like the politics of this country it pame (o a nominal sort of thing—the degenera.. tlon of conditions by machines. {hat en- slaved. “In America,” | | sald Rabbi Voorsanger, repeated.” Here the audlence applauded to the in the lecturer’s opinion. The Roman, more than the Gr great pride in his city. The efi';;,,‘;f:: sald he, created monuments, but Qifferent to modern times they did not wait for ncwspaper subscriptions, but erecteq their monuments to their gods voluntarily and with pride. Magnificent were those temples. They vied With the palaces of the nobles. Their arches of'triumph were not for themselves but for the concrete binding of Rome—an evidence of the pride they took In their city. It meant that whoever came to Rome must see and appreciate Rome's power; that Rome of the seven or ten hills was covered with great monuments represent- ing religion, science’ and art—that it might be seen by all that Rome was the heart of the world. But the extrava. ‘gances of the times, the fabulous wealth, the lewd living sapped at the root. It is surplus Weath, he said, that creat- ed immorality and when men do not work they become degenerates. That would be his argument, he said, to those who would favor a working day of three hours for the laboring man. Man, de- clared the rabbl, must work eight hours to keep his mind and body in good health. In this view the audlence saw good rea- soning for again it burst out with ring- ing applause. Conditions in London. cturer then alluded to informa- > day and indicatiors are for a ruinous price war.

The lecturer said that in spite of all sermons there is one danger to morality— it is not anarchy, but comes from empty stomachs, a sentiment which the audience applauded vociferously. He prayed for an ideal city, wherein virtue shall reign, and he trusted that such a condition would come to pass, but before that time, he feared, man will have to learn and elim- inate much of the injustice of which he is the victim. The next lecture at the Academy of Sclences will be given one week from next Saturday, when Professor Frank Parsons | of Boston will speak on “Municipal Own- ership.” LAWYERS WANT THE OLD BAR ASSOCIATION REVIVED Hold Meeting and Appoint Commit- tee to Wait Upon Officers of Suspended Organization.

STRANGE DEATH ON BAY BEACH Fishermen Discover Bul- let-Pierced Body in the Tide. Empty Pockets Indicate That Murdes and Robbery Were Done. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 18. Mystery surrounds the death of an un- known and well-dressed man whose body was found in the bay within 200 yards of Point Richmond at daylight this morning by two fishermen, Andrew Storm and Theodore Nelson. Within a few feet of tha body on the bank lay a big navy revolver that had been discharged once. There was a bullethole in the back of the dead man’s head, but in such a position that Coroner Curry is doubt whether the man fired the pistol Wimself or was shot from behind by some assassin. The fact that there was not a cent In the man's clothes and that the pockets had been turned inside out bears out the theory of murder for robbery. The fingers of tha left hand were powder burned, but the Coroner does not say what significance i3 attached to this fact. The fishermen who found the body live within a short distance of the place whers it was discovered in the water. They heard a shot at 7 o'clock last night, but | did not pay any attention to it as they thought hunters were around. Nothing was found on the body which would give any clew to the identity of the man. He was about 35 years old, had auburn hair and a light flowing mustache, The clothing was of a gray material and well made.

Dr. Meyers & Co. base much of their success on thelr thorough knowledge of the human anatomy.
